Sanctioned Russian tanker sinks after 'drone attack' in Mediterranean

A Russian-flagged sanctioned LNG tanker, Arctic Metagaz, caught fire in the Mediterranean, maritime security sources said on Tuesday. Malta’s armed forces confirmed the crew was found safe in a lifeboat within Libya’s search-and-rescue region. The vessel was last tracked near Malta. A naval drone attack, possibly by Ukraine, is suspected though no official confirmation has been issued so far.
